Ravenwood has introduced three cutting-edge innovations, all officially entered into Label Expo’s New Product Launch showcase. Two of the new technologies enhance the capabilities of the Com500 Coater, while the third is the Nobac 40B Labeller – a linerless label applicator designed for efficient bottle labelling. Together, these innovations highlight Ravenwood’s ongoing commitment to performance, efficiency and sustainable solutions in the world of linerless labelling.
Ravenwood Launches Next-Gen Scanner for Com 500 Coater
New state-of-the-art optical scanner delivers unparalleled adhesive coat weight measurement for enhanced quality assurance and efficiency.
Ravenwood has introduced a state-of-the-art scanner for its Com 500 coating machine, delivering unparalleled accuracy in measuring adhesive coat weight. Using a 1mm wide beam of light, it detects refractive changes through the adhesive – ensuring precision across all substrates, including clear film. This major advancement in quality assurance eliminates the need for manual, offline testing. Superseding the previous IR scanner, it’s now fitted as standard on all new Com500s and can be retrofitted to most existing units. The upgrade boosts efficiency and reduces costs.
Ravenwood Unveils Airshaft Upgrade for Com 500 Coater
New airshaft revolutionises stripe roller setup for faster change overs on Com500 coaters.
Ravenwood has launched a new Stripe Roller Support Shaft for the Com 500 Coater, replacing the traditional ETP locking bush system. The innovative Airshaft allows for faster setup – stripe rollers are positioned and secured using compressed air. Operators can deflate, adjust, and re-inflate the shaft with ease, reducing downtime and complexity. Benefits include quicker pattern changes, simplified operation, no costly locking bushes to replace, and a lighter unit overall. While existing rollers need modification or replacement, extensive production testing has shown excellent results across all tested silicone patterns. This upgrade marks another leap in Com 500 efficiency and user-friendliness.
Ravenwood Introduces Nobac 40B Bottle Labeller
New entry-level linerless label applicator expands Nobac 40 range for efficient bottle labelling.
Ravenwood has expanded its Nobac 40 range with the new airless Nobac 40B Bottle Labeller, an entry-level linerless label applicator. This custom-built system efficiently applies linerless labels up to 200mm long and 40mm wide around various bottle sizes. Leveraging the Nobac 40 label head and an extended transfer unit, it achieves application speeds of 75 bottles per minute, opening up new possibilities for the Nobac 40 line.
As Ravenwood continues to lead the way in linerless labelling innovation, these three new technologies exemplify the company’s drive to meet the evolving needs of the packaging industry. With a focus on precision engineering, operational efficiency, and environmental responsibility, Ravenwood’s latest advancements set the stage for the future of sustainable labelling. Label Expo’s New Product Launch showcase will provide an exclusive first look at how Ravenwood is reshaping the landscape of label application and coating technologies.
